ALLIES MOVING AT LAST

AWKWARD TIMES AHEAD FOR GERMANY

VERDUN HAS ABSORBED HER TROOPS

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Times and Sydney Sun Services.) (Received June 17, 8 a.m.) i LONDON, 16th June.

Colonel Repington, the military writer in The Times, declares that the Bussian advance is only beginning. The armies in the south only represent one-third of the Russian forces. When the other two-thirds come into play the staffs at Vilna and Lemberg will be sending each other disquieting despatches. It is unlikely that the German forces cau effectively succour the Austrians, as all the German divisions except one have been withdrawn from the Balkans to Verdun. Yon Hindenburg has been sucked dry for the same reason. We shall now see whether there are fresh divisions in the interior of Germany. If there are none, and the Russians operate in the north, there are awkward times ahead for Germany. We must not fix our eyes exclusively on General Brusiloff. The eastern theatre affects large areas. The Allies are moving at last, and we must look far df we wish to embrace the horizon which will soon be aflame.
